Sanskrit Original
बिनु गुर होइ कि ग्यान ग्यान कि होइ बिराग बिनु। गावहिं बेद पुरान सुख कि लहिअ हरि भगति बिनु।।89(क)।। कोउ बिश्राम कि पाव तात सहज संतोष बिनु। चलै कि जल बिनु नाव कोटि जतन पचि पचि मरिअ।।89(ख)।।
binu gura hōi ki gyāna gyāna ki hōi birāga binu. gāvahiṃ bēda purāna sukha ki lahia hari bhagati binu..89ka.. kōu biśrāma ki pāva tāta sahaja saṃtōṣa binu. calai ki jala binu nāva kōṭi jatana paci paci maria..89kha..
Is spiritual illumination possible without a preceptor ? Or, again, is it possible to acquire wisdom without dispassion? Or, as the Vedas and Puranas declare, can one attain happiness without devotion to Sri Hari? Again, dear Garuda, can one find peace without innate content? Can a boat ever float without water even though you strain every nerve till your last breath?
